Mass Effect: Pausing the Action

Awhile back, I went to visit my brother who plays a lot more console games than I do and he had rented Mass Effect for the weekend from Blockbuster. I’m not big on game pads but he coaxed me into trying it out, since it’s more fun than just watching him play I gave it …



Warhammer Online: End Game

Massively just ran a story on WAR: How to Conquer a Capital City in which they explain the end game scenario that Realm vs Realm combat in WAR focuses on.  In Realm vs Realm, just about everything you do contributes …

Stargate Worlds

One game I’ve been watching lately has been Stargate Worlds, an MMO based on the popular television series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.  I’ll admit, I’m not to up-to-date on the story line in Atlantis, I’ve maybe seen 2 episodes but SG-1 was a real …

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

Some cool new features coming along with the next expansion to World of Warcraft “Wrath of the Lich King”, no doubt aimed at fending off serious competition from Age of Conan.  For example, some of the new quest mechanices they are …

Age of Conan: May 20, 2008

Age of Conan, the long anticipated MMO is finally set for release this month! I gave up on this game ever coming out a while back and stumbled across it in my musings. It looks better than ever and looks like all the major features promised will be included in initial release. …

Star Wars Galaxies 2: Combat Vehicles

In my vision of the sequel to Star Wars Galaxies, vehicles would have combat roles rather than just fancy transports such as they are now.  Vehicles such as the AT-AT, AT-ST and AT-RT would not be pets users control from the side lines, rather vehicles people could enter and control in battles.  The combat class …

Star Wars Galaxies 2: A Remake

Before you get your hopes up, no there is no Star Wars Galaxies sequel in the works, at least not that I am aware of.  This is just a short list of some of the things I would like to see included if SOE and Lucasarts decided to make another go at it.  The chances …

Star Wars Galaxies: Creature Handler

One of my first and most loved professions in Star Wars Galaxies was the Creature Handler.  In pre-game dream mode I never thought of being a Creature Handler at all.  Being able to tame and control pets didn’t seem to top my list of things to do in a Star Wars game.  I had dreams …

Star Wars Galaxies: Emulator Project

While writing about my past experiences with Star Wars Galaxies, I started to feel pretty nestalgiac and started looking at SWG to see of any changes.  Sadly, it looks like Sony is flushing this once great game right down the toilet and not looking back.  However, there is a new hope Star Wars Galaxies fans!  …

Star Wars Galaxies: Jedi

I have so many rants for this game I could, and probably will, go on all day.  In the early days this game was great.  It’s everything, well almost everything, you would expect from the Star Wars universe.  Combat was fun and challenging.  The crafting system was actually fun and rewarding, albeit a bit tedious …
